We are experiencing an interesting situation, in that a number of
beekeepers are making constant increase and selling bees every year, and
making more honey, whereas others, such as Dave are having problems.

My interest is in trying to figure out the reasons for the differences.

Dave, could you please tell us where you are located, the amount and type
of forage available, and how (specifically) you manage varroa?
